Instructions
Heat wine in a saucepan over high heat. Bring to the boil, reduce heat and cook for 2 minutes or until reduced to about half its original volume.
Add butter and leeks, cover and simmer for 10 minutes or until leeks are tender.
Stir in sage and peas, and cook, covered, for 3 minutes or until peas are tender; this will depend on how fresh they are. Add bresaola and stir well. Season and serve immediately.

• Bresaola, available from selected delis, is a type of cured lean beef. Substitute with prosciutto.
